Reach Out @ Bonnaroo 2011 - Not Afraid

by Meredith Community, Volunteering

ReachOut.com team members Mackenzie and Rasika chop it up outside our booth at Planet RooReachOut.com represented at this year's Bonnaroo 2011! A team of six awesome ReachOut.com council members, volunteers and staff helped us reach thousands of people who came through the Planet Roo section of Bonnaroo Thanks Amy, Emily, Rasika, Mackenzie and Wilfredo!

With over 80,000 people in attendance, the fists were pumping, the rays were intense, and vibrations went much farther than just our spot in the Tennesse farmland.

"I wish I had heard about this before."

Bonnaroo Music Festival goers sign-up for ReachOut.comThe response to ReachOut.com and the dedication of our crew to brave the heat was as warm as the weather!

Lots of people said they had wished they had known about ReachOut.com while they were going through a tough time and even more suggested that they would check out the site, and write in, to help others out. For everyone who believes in the power of helping each other, it was really a great affirmation of all the work ReachOut.com and Inspire USA  is dedicated to doing.

"This could be the next big thing"

Arcade Fire, Eminem, Bassnectar and many other major acts rocked massive crowds, with Eminem's performance ending in a half-hour fireworks show. It would be impossible to even begin to describe how much good music was going on during the festival, but when people weren't exhausted, the festival vibe flowed into our booth

"How else can I support"

Elsewhere at Roo, our We Can Help Us videos were also played three times over the course of the festival over at the Planet Roo Documentary tent where peeps got to enjoy some shade and the shorts that were inspired by real stories submitted to the site. Fans the Outdoors also stopped by the tent to show some love. If you visited the booth and signed our waiver to take a picture, stay tuned to our Facebook page (ReachOutUSA) as they get posted up.
